Automotive cooperation between Africa and Germany

Africa is home to fast growing economies with a young, growing population and rapid rates of urbanization along with very low rates of motorization. By 2035, the continent is expected to have the largest labour force potential in the world.
The automotive and logistics sector holds a key position due to its sustainable value creation in supplier networks, assembly plants, distribution structures and pan-African trade relations and offers great potential for innovation, growth and jobs. The digital economy and sustainable mobility have particularly high development potential. Thus, the automotive sector is striving to become an engine for innovation, growth and jobs. The level of motorization in Africa is just 42 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants, which is significantly below the global average of 182 per 1,000.

非洲大陆拥有快速增长的经济体，其人口年轻化且持续增长，城市化进程迅猛，而机动车普及率却极低。预计到2035年，该大陆将拥有全球最大的劳动力潜力。汽车及物流行业因其供应商网络、装配工厂、分销结构和泛非贸易关系中的可持续价值创造而占据关键地位，并具备巨大的创新、增长和就业潜力。数字经济与可持续交通具有特别高的发展潜力。因此，汽车行业正努力成为创新、增长和就业的引擎。非洲的机动车普及率仅为每千人42辆，远低于全球平均水平的每千人182辆。
